IAG Cargo adds London-Hong Kong freighter

IAG Cargo will add a 747-8 freighter flight between London and Hong Kong with stops in Frankfurt and New Delhi on Oct. 31.
IAG now provides 700 tons of lift per week into Hong Kong.
“Hong Kong is an incredibly important trade center, not least for the garment and consumer electronics sectors, and we have seen good growth from the region to all destinations,” Steve Gunning, managing director at IAG Cargo, said in a statement. “Our additional capacity will be welcome as businesses gear up for the peak Christmas season, and we expect to see increasing volumes of consumer goods coming out of Hong Kong over the next few months.”
